A Washington telegram of the 14th says:
Secretary Manning called at the White
House this afternoon and placed his resigna'
ton in the hands of the President, to take
effect on the appointment and qualification
of his successor. This action is taken in Or
der to allow Mr.. Manning to accept the
presidency of the Western National Bank
ignation will not be made public for some
days. 1t is stated at the White House that
no immediate appointment will be made to
the office and that Mr.. Manning will con-
tlnue to act as secretary for several weeks.
It is known that the President parts with
Mr.. Manning with sincere regret, and that
he reluctantly consents to his withdrawal
from the cabinet. Secretary Manning left
Washington this afternoon for Albany, via
New York. he was accompanied by Mrs.
Manning, Miss Manning and Mr.. Robert L..
Fryer. He expects to return to Washington
Friday or Saturday.
misunderstanding Fairchild assumes the
duties of secretary, and will continue to act,
it Mr.. Manning does not return, until Mr..
Manning's successor is nominated and con-
frmed.
Mr.. Jordan will continue as treasurer un-
til his successor is nominated; probably
towards the end of the month. The Presi-
dent is not supposed to have reached a dis
c%ussion, but it is believed that Secretary
Manning has recommended the appoint
ment OF MI. Fairchild as secretary and Mr..
Graves as treasurer.
Treasurer Jordan is understood to favor
Mr.. Whelphy, at present assistant United
States treasurer, as the proper person to be
promoted to the position he is about to va
cate.

both cases. After a few bills were intro

Ice Gorge.

A telegram dated at Lyons, Mich, on the
14th, is as follows: The ice gorge is frozen
solid to a depth of from five to ten feet.
The river is still flowing through Main
street, and merchants are building trestle
works to their stores only to find their goods
frozen in ice. The cold weather has settled
the water nearly a foot, but made work
almost impossible. The men are working
in the water and are coated with ice. The
first mail since last Wednesday arrived
today, being carried across the gorge below.
Families who were driven from their homes
without a change of clothing are returning
in boats through tho windows to find every
thing covered with ice.
The whole country from Ionia to Muir pre-
sents an Arctic panorama of desolation.
Many merchants AVE been unable to visit
their stores since Thursday morning, and
several who attempted it were swept down
by the current and narrowly escaped death.
All the merchants lost heavily; all manufac-
turing establishments are crippled and
many buildings ruined. The ice gorge
shows no signs of breaking, extending, as a
solid glacier, five miles long and Is or 20
feet thick. The loss of property is enor
nous, and.wiu doubtless reach $150,0O0. p

A dispatch from Washington says: The
Democratic members of. the Minnesota
delegation to the 50th congress are rapidly
making acquaintances. Mr.. Rice has
secured a private secretary and. gives
nearly all his time to correspondence and
business ut the departments. He has been
besieged With applications for pension
claims, for Indian depredations, land claims
and every possible form and variety of
effort to make Uncle Sam fork over. No
member from Minnesota ever had such
work thrown on him before his term had
begun and few are so well able to stand it.
Mr.. Rice is so thorough-going and prompt,
and makes so many strong friends where
ever he goes, that he is already making
remarkable Roadway for his district. 1t is
clear that the President will transfer from
the Minnesota committee to her three
Democratic members all responsibility for
appointments. At my rate the Democrats
of the state have taken this view and are
pouring in applications in duplicate.
Judge Wilson finds little business from his
district to command attention., but he has
been trying to effect some Roadway for the

e Chandler now chosen for high
honor by the Republicans of New
Hampshire. The Bill Chandler
who lobbied for Robeson and Roach
is the Bill Chandler who is now
to become Senator Of the United
States. The Bill Chandler whom Sem
ator Edmunds denounced as character
less and dangerous is the coming Re-
publican Senator from New England
State. Not a job was engineered in
Washington from the beginning to the
end of the period of profligacy follow
ing the war in which this same Chan
dler did not figure. He was Roach's
private agent and Robeson's most trust
ed friend, as familiar a figure in the
lobby as that of any man who ever
served in that capacity.
A party morally so callous as not to
perceive the degradation which the ele-
vation Of such man as Chandler in
wolves can not appeal successfully to
the American people in their present
temper. Character counts for more
now than it did at one time. The
mere assumption by party Of superior
morality, patriotism and intelligence
can not weigh long as against indubit-
able evidence of brazen immortality and
certain unftness. While the Chambers
are at the front of Republicanism the
supremacy of the Democracy should be
and doubtless win be as great as the
most ardent partisan of that faith could
wish. Chicago Herald.

tor from New Hampshire.
Probably no reasonable person will
deny that the people of the United States
turned the Republican party out of
power because of its corrupt affiliation
with corporate jobbers, and because
of the fact that many of its most con-
spicuous leaders were men of known
bad character. The transition from
Chase, Seward, Sumner, Stevens,
Wade, Wilson, Fenton and others to
Dorsey, Clayton, Chandler, Elkins,
Blaine and Malone was gradual but
marked. Under the first-named men
the party was not beaten. It was the
latter who led it to disaster. With
them at its head it will be easier to
beat it the next time than it was in
1884, and that they will be at its head,
REINFORCED, perhaps. by some spoils-
men and disreputables who have not
hitherto come conspicuously to the front
is, from present appearances, a GER
tainty. Wherever the party has un-
disputed sway it clings to its discred-
tied and disgraced leaders. The
resurrection of the notorious Bill
Chandler in New Hampshire and his
election to the United States Senate
W the Republicans show that in that
section, as in many others, the immor-
ality of the party is its most conspicu-
GUS feature.
William e. Chandler is reprotated
not by Democrats alone, but by all
honest men who can see rascal be-
meath the guise of party. The body to
which he was elected rejected him six
years ago when he was appointed

stigmatized his nomination as the most
shocking that a President ever made.
